Curious

Have been visiting the SH site for near gone a year now and had a few exciting meets, have only just started using the forum which I must add is refreshing compared to slugging your way through the posted adds.
I notice that above the avtars is this greylittle bar which changes to Purple on some of the members. Am I correct in assuming that this is some sort of Frequency indicator??? or, is it a some sort of genuine indicator instead.
How do I get mine to increase.
Thanks and happy days

They grey bar is related to your post count.
It becomes fully purple at 1000 posts.
If you hover your mouse over it - you will see a text value of your status.

Welcome, btw!

you get it to increase by posting. With every post the grey bar gets a little more purple......
However....... a word of warning.
If you have a purple bar thats full and you've only been here a month, you're not more likely to get shagged as many of us take note of the joined date too so there is no point going on a posting rampage to get the purple bar filled up quickly.
Welcome and hope you have fun on the forum.

...then your fingers are likely to be worn to mere stumps, you'll be half-blind with eyestrain, and you'll probably have an RSI. That's over 30 posts per day FFS! Not even Bluexxx could keep that up for any length of time.

It indicates the number of posts you have made, but it automatically screens out any crap posts made just to bump up your tally.
At a certain point of crapness, the system PM's one of the Mods, who comes along and gives you a severe ticking off and resets your counter to zero, thus putting you right back to 'newbie' status.
The funny thing is, due to a technical gliche, everytime we have 'zero'd' someone, they never post again!! Very odd! :grin:

The purple bar levels are:
0-10 posts "Just popped in"
10-20 posts "Finding my feet"
20-30 posts "Getting there"
30-40 posts "ooo this is exciting"
40-50 posts "Look at meee"
50-100 posts "You looking at me?"
100-200 posts "Boy, can I type!"
200-300 posts "I need to get out more"
300-400 posts "A slave to my art"
400-500 posts "I've got chair sores"
500-1000 posts "Super human rambling"
1000+ posts "Godlike"
you also get a free 'full up' bar if you are a site mod, or administrator.
